Latest Patents
One of his notable inventions is an outlet assembly comprising a retractable charging cable. This invention is directed to an improved outlet assembly that provides at least one standard electrical socket in addition to one or more retractable charging cables. Most homes and buildings currently use wall outlets having only AC sockets. Advantageously, the disclosed outlet assembly also includes access to one or more retractable charging cables. Each cable is operably connected to a port configured on the interior of the assembly. This assembly therefore conveniently provides one or more retractable cables that allow a variety of mobile devices to be charged. Advantageously, the user does not need a separate cable, adapter, charger, and/or power supply.
Another significant patent is related to predictive regenerative braking. This invention involves systems and methods that dynamically and automatically adjust a standard regenerative braking intensity. Roadway data, data from one or more sensors of a vehicle, and data including parameter values for operating states of the vehicle regarding a roadway from a route being navigated by the vehicle are received by a processor of a control system of the vehicle. Standard regenerative braking intensity values based on a vehicle's acceleration are retrieved from memory. Adjusted regenerative braking intensity values are calculated based on at least one of the roadway data, the sensor data, and the parameter values of the operating states of the vehicle and the standard regenerative braking intensity values. The adjusted regenerative braking intensity values are transmitted to the control system, and an acceleration or deceleration amount is applied to the vehicle based on the adjusted regenerative braking intensity values.
